Zulhajjah The first ten days of ZulHajjah are extremely sacred and good deeds are most beloved to Allah in these ten days. The Prophet said, No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhal Hajja). Then some companions of the Prophet said, Not even Jihad? He replied, Not even Jihad, except that of a man who does it by putting himself and his property in danger (for Allahs sake) and does not return with any of those things.(Bukhari 15: 86) * 9th ZulHajja is a very sacred day. When asked about fasting on the of Zul Hajjaj (Yaum e Arafah) Rasool Allah saw said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year and the coming year (Muslim 6: 2603) * The second Muslim festival Eid ul Adha falls on the 10th of ZulHajjah. * An animal sacrifice, in memory of the sacrifice of Prophet Ibrahim (as) is offered on 10th ZulHajjah. Importance of Sacrifice: Sacrifice has not been made obligatory by Allah Tala, however it has the status of being Obligatory Sunnah ( Sunnat e Wjiba). Through this act, pleasure of Allah is obtained and also results in atonement of sins! Sacrifice has been commanded to the people in all the revealed laws (Shariat) since the time of Prophet Adam (as) to Prophet Muhammad (as). Allah Tala mentioned this sunnah in beautiful words in Surah Safaat: And he (Ibrhaim as) said (after his rescue from the fire): Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will guide me! My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous. So We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy. And, when he (his son) was old enough to walk with him, he said: O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you (offer you in sacrifice to Allâh), so look what you think! He said: O my father! Do that which you are commanded, Inshâ Allâh (if Allâh will), you shall find me amongst the patient ones. Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allâh), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead; And We called out to him: O Abraham! You have fulfilled the dream Verily! Thus do We reward the Muhsinûn (good-doers). Verily, that indeed was a manifest trial and We ransomed him with a great sacrifice and We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times. Salâmun (peace) be upon Ibrâhim! After seeing the dream, Ibrahim (as) transcended all logic and sacrificed his most beloved possession, his own son, for the sake of Allah. Wisdom of Sacrifice Sacrifice is the symbol of full obedience and total submission to Allah Ibrahims (as) obedience, loyalty and sacrifice greatly earned the pleasure of Allah Subhana Watala and he was declared as a Muhsin and Khalil Allah (Friend of Allah) and his name and his sacrifice is remembered till this day. Five times a day, Muslims send their blessings on Ibrahim (as) along with Muhammad (saw) Allah Tala expects the same obedience and sacrifice from His slaves. In front of the command of Allah, there should be no excuses. In remembrance of this sacrifice of Ibrahim (as), Muslims all over the world make a commitment that Oh Lord of the Worlds; We are your obedient slaves. Everything we possess belongs to you. If you command us, we will sacrifice our lives for the sake of Islam
